Three days later, the succession ceremony was held as scheduled.
Like Ancestor Xuanyuan, this time Dongmentu also chose to keep a low profile. However, even so, the number of immortal cultivators who came to participate was still huge.
Not to mention the Yuan Ying stage elders within the sect, as well as the many disciples in the pill forming stage, foundation building stage, etc., the demonic sects also sent many people, and even the Tiandao Alliance and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance also had some monks before them. Come celebrate.
The strength of the Yuling Sect is not low. Even without the ancestor Xuan Yuan, it can still not be underestimated. Therefore, the various factions who received the invitation were also very considerate and sent representatives with heavy gifts.
Such a large number of guests naturally made the ceremony extremely lively, and the entire Qiling Mountains became boiling.
The protagonist of the ceremony is naturally Dongmen Tu. Through this ceremony, he not only fully announced his position as the leader of the Yuling Sect, but also took the opportunity to demonstrate his own strength. It also revealed the sect's future code of conduct and so on.
As Mo Juren expected, Dongmen Tu chose a conservative strategy, keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile.
However, there was one exception. When all the guests were talking about him, he suddenly went out of his way and announced his identity as the Supreme Elder of the sect in front of guests from all sects.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
It is really shocking that a monk in the Danjie stage can receive the same honor as a strong person in the Nascent Soul stage. It can also be seen that the courage of the Yuling Sect and the great importance it attaches to the already famous Lord Mo.
Mo Juren's mind was so sharp that he instantly understood the old guy's intention, which was obviously to push him out to attract attention.
There may not be any malicious intent, after all, this matter is not considered a secret, but the use is indeed real. If I had some favorable impressions of him before, now I have completely lost all such thoughts.
For the benefit of the sect, the other party was really rational, ruthless, and decisive in killing, so he stabbed him directly.
Of course, his reputation is not small, and it doesn't matter if he has another title. Besides, the affairs of the Supreme Elder are not deliberately concealed, and they will be exposed sooner or later.
But passively exploding was completely different from the other party's taking the initiative to do so. While it made him feel uncomfortable, he also couldn't help but feel a little vigilant.
As a great elder, the other party's skills are indeed extraordinary, much stronger than Mo Juren expected. It is no wonder that ancestor Xuanyuan entrusted him with important tasks.
However, if this seemingly casual method is used on him, it is another matter. Both the pattern and the mind are a bit narrow.
At that moment, Mo Juren's idea of rapidly becoming stronger became more and more determined. No matter what the honor of the supreme elder, or the favor and training of the sect, etc., they were all empty. One's own strength was the foundation.
If he had the strength to crush the opponent at this moment, would something like this still happen?
He probably also knew that this was a bit unethical. After announcing the matter, Dongmen Tu also immediately sent a message to him secretly, expressing his apology and promising satisfactory compensation.
After listening, Mo Juren looked extremely calm, nodded slightly and didn't say much.
The ceremony lasted for three full days, and the guests who came to congratulate them just left one after another.
Of course, there are some who stayed, especially representatives from the major sects of the Demonic Path. These people had secret exchanges with Dongmen Tu in the cave, and they didn’t know what they promised. In short, everyone left with a satisfied smile. .
This did not go beyond Mo Juren's expectation, but he was too lazy to care about it. At this time, he was busy in the cave with "banquet for guests".
When it comes to making a wide range of friends, he is considered a leader in this area, and this ceremony is a rare opportunity, and there are too many acquaintances here.
This is mainly divided into three parts. The most special ones are some powerful people in the Nascent Soul stage, including Han Zhuo, Gu Ying, Ancestor Chiling, Zhenren Liaoqing and so on.
The second one is the children of some families, mainly the six major sects of the Demonic Way, and also includes many subordinate sects and forces. These people also have some common identities, that is, they are members of the Tianhua Merchant Alliance.
A lot of people came to this ceremony, and it coincided with the fact that Mo Juren, the leader of the alliance, became more and more dazzling, and became the first monk in the history of Tiannan to be promoted to the supreme elder at the stage of forming an elixir. With such an existence with endless potential, as long as everyone is not stupid, they are naturally willing to get closer to each other.
This includes Wang Chan and his wife from the Ghost Spirit Sect, Ge Tianfeng and his aunt Ge Mingyue from the Blood Killing Sect, Tian Buque and Dong Xuan'er from the Hehuan Sect, etc.
Especially Ge Mingyue, with the help of his large resources, has made amazing achievements over the years, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of pill formation.
An accident in the past made the other party become his subordinate by accident, and his life and death were also controlled by him. At first, Ge Mingyue thought that this 'cheap master' would be motivated by spending so much thought.
But he never thought that more than a hundred years had passed, but the other party had not even summoned him once, as if he had completely forgotten about it.
I came here this time to find out what the other party thinks? Did her conscience find out and plan to let her go? Or do you have other plans?
It is impossible to let him go. Mo Juren is not that kind yet. The reason why he ignored him is simply because he has no need for the time being. He simply lets him continue to be a secret. He will talk to him if he needs it in the future.
In addition to these, the rest are Mo Juren's close friends, and there are also a lot of them, including Wang Ping, Bai Xuan, Lian Feihua, Xue Jue, Zhou Ying, and some of Han Yunzhi's own little sisters, etc.
Everyone is busy practicing and rarely has the opportunity to meet each other, especially Mo Juren, who has not heard from him for many years. It is not easy to get together, so it is natural to have a good gathering, and it is these people who participated in today's banquet.
The back house of the Cave Mansion, in the garden.
Everyone chose different seats to sit down. Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi were also in the queue. Several young apprentices went into battle in person, shuttling back and forth with a group of maids, and were constantly busy.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother Mo is getting better and better on his path. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up." The first person to speak was Xue Jue. At this time, the other party had already entered the stage of forming an elixir, and he had matured a lot.
"Junior brother Xue is already a monk in the Danjie stage, so he's not bad either." Mo Juren chuckled, but suddenly said reproachfully,
"You are also unreasonable. It is said that you married the daughter of the Yu family ten years ago and gave birth to a pair of children not long ago.
Why didn't you inform me about such an important matter? Is it possible that you don’t regard me as your eldest brother? Also, why didn’t you bring your siblings and children with you this time? "
"Brother, don't get me wrong. I just heard that you were in retreat at that time, so I was disturbed, so I didn't notify you." Xue Jue smiled and continued,
"As for this time, Ying'er is also in retreat, and her son and daughter are still young, so they were not brought with them."
The real reason cannot be these, it is simply because the other party is too dazzling now, and is almost no longer on the same level, which makes him instinctively feel inferior. However, Xue Jue cannot say it out, so he can only explain it like this. .
"You!" Mo Juren probably guessed what the other party was thinking, but he couldn't say anything. Then he changed the subject and said,
"Forget it this time, we won't be allowed to live like this again in the future."
After comforting the other party, suddenly, his arm suddenly waved, and a half-foot-long jade box appeared and flew slowly towards the other party.
"This..." Looking at the jade box that fell into his hand, Xue Jue couldn't help but look surprised.
"A little thought can be considered as a gift for the two children." Mo Juren smiled. The latter suddenly understood after hearing this. However, when he slowly opened the lid of the box, a flash of shock suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Well, big brother..."
"It's not a good thing, so stop being so coquettish." Mo Juren interrupted the other party and said,
"This thing is not for you, don't refuse it. If you have time in the future, I will bring my siblings and two children to visit Qiling Mountain together."
"Okay, I will thank brother on their behalf." Xue Jue did not insist anymore, put away the things and thanked him again. This performance made Lian Feihua on the opposite side curl her lips unconsciously, and whispered to Zhou Ying beside her,
"This guy's whole person has changed since he got married. He's so boring."
"It's normal to have some changes after becoming a parent. Besides, you also know what sister Yu's character is like. If she hadn't been a good tamer, how could she possibly have made the ungrateful playboy of the past so obedient." Zhou Ying obviously knew more. , chuckled secretly.
"That's right, but this guy has suffered a lot." Lian Feihua nodded, but suddenly said,
"But who made him so unreliable before? Being able to marry sister Yu is already a great blessing. It's right to suffer some grievances."
Although the conversation between the two was held in low tones, in such a small place in the garden, how could they keep it a secret when everyone was all monks in the alchemy stage? It immediately caused countless people to laugh without saying a word.
The fact that he is afraid of his wife is not considered a secret in the circle, but speaking out in public is another matter.
As the person involved, Xue Jue could no longer maintain his original composure, and his face turned red instantly. However, the people he was talking about were the two people he feared the most, and he didn't even have the courage to reply.
Mo Juren naturally heard it, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He thought that Xue Jue's change was self-awakening, but he didn't expect that there was such an unknown reason.
Henpecked! It's not a shortcoming. On the contrary, for a dandy like Xue Jue, it is a good thing to have such a character.
He turned to look at Wang Ping and Bai Xuan again. They had been married for many years and had more than one generation of children.
Of course, from the beginning to now, every time a descendant was born, Han Yunzhi would send someone to deliver a gift in time, but he didn't need to worry too much.
"I heard that Brother Wang and Senior Sister Bai went into retreat some time ago to master a secret method of combined attack. Its power should not be underestimated. I wonder if they can complete it?"
"Junior brother is well-informed." Wang Ping chuckled and said,
"I'm pretty lucky. Xuan'er and I spent several years in seclusion and finally mastered it."
"Congratulations." Mo Juren cupped his hands again, and when he looked at Bai Xuan inadvertently, he was suddenly startled. Somehow, he always felt that there was something strange in the other person's eyes when he looked at him.
"Senior sister, what's going on? Is it possible that after not seeing each other for many years, you have some thoughts about Mo?" Mo Juren laughed, and Bai Xuan, who was immediately reacted, spat lightly,
"You're such a playboy, who would have any thoughts about you? It's because Yunzhi was too naive, that's why he fell for you in the first place."
The reason why Bai Xuan showed a strange look was purely out of inner shock.
We haven't seen each other for many years. Although the other party is still in the stage of forming pills, his reputation in Tiannan and his almost exaggerated deeds are attracting more and more attention. Now he has directly become the Supreme Elder of Yuling Sect, on the same level as his master.
Not only that, when she occasionally talked with her master Gu Ying, she could tell that not only her master, but also the ancestors of the Han family and the ancestors of the Chiling family were strong in the Nascent Soul stage, but they all vaguely put each other on the back burner. Theme.
Everyone's starting point was not very different, and even Mo Juren was slightly behind. However, over the years, their respective achievements were very different. The other seemed to be favored by destiny, soaring into the sky, making them not even think about catching up. Can't give birth.
"It's been so many years, senior sister, your temperament has really not changed at all." Mo Juren smiled, then looked at Wang Ping and said again,
"It seems that senior brother and Xue Jue are quite destined. We can communicate more in the future."
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again. The reputation of the two of them being afraid of their wives was completely cleared.
All joking aside, after so many years of friendship, we naturally don't care about these trivial matters. They just had a good time chatting and joking. Everyone tasted top-quality spiritual tea and abundant spiritual fruits while discussing the current situation.
Today's Tiannan can be said to be a golden age for immortal cultivators. Peace and development have become the mainstream, which has also caused the number of disciples of major, medium and small sects, including casual cultivators, to show a spurt of growth.
As the number of monks increases dramatically, the consumption of resources will naturally increase, especially as the competition between the major forces becomes fierce.
Of course, most of the people present had extraordinary backgrounds, and had a background in Tianhua Tower. There was no shortage of resources, so the discussion was just a casual chat.
At the same time, everyone also had some exchanges on cultivation.
This kind of opportunity is rare and will be of great benefit to each of them in their future paths. Therefore, everyone becomes extremely serious when discussing the Tao.
Time passed slowly until it got dark, and the banquet was coming to an end.
Everyone knows very well that with Mo Juren's terrifying growth rate, it won't be long before he can break through to the Nascent Soul stage. By then, the gap between the two sides will be as big as clouds and mud, and it will be almost impossible for such a peaceful gathering like today to happen again in the future. .
There is no way, this is the reality of the spiritual world, where strength is always respected. Even if Mo Juren is willing to put aside his status and get along with everyone as equals, he still cannot eliminate the natural chasm in his heart.
Everyone did not say goodbye immediately, but stayed in Mo Juren's cave for a few days before leaving one after another. Everyone was a little reluctant to leave when they parted, especially Lian Feihua and the girls, who held Han Yunzhi's beautiful hand and didn't let go for a long time.
In this regard, Mo Juren and the other male monks are obviously not as good as him. First of all, men are different from women. Their inner emotions tend to be more restrained and they cannot show too much enthusiasm.
Secondly, it is because of himself. Although he has a deep friendship with everyone, to this day, he has already become famous and still gives people a vague feeling of looking up to him. Naturally, he will also instinctively feel a little alienated.
After everyone had left, only Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi were left standing side by side outside the cave. Looking at the figures that had long since disappeared in the air, they felt some inexplicable mixed feelings in their hearts.
Han Yunzhi is no exception. Knowing the next plan, she knows very well that even if this separation is not forever, it will be an extremely long period of time, and it is probably impossible to see each other again in the future.
"Don't be too sad, there is always a chance to see you again." Mo Juren probably guessed what the other person was thinking, and then gently held him in his arms and comforted him.
"I know." Han Yunzhi nodded and suddenly sighed softly,
"Everyone has his own life, and no matter how good friends are, they will inevitably go their separate ways. I just feel a little emotional, where will we go in the future?"
"Why have you become sentimental?" Mo Juren was a little surprised. It was rare to see the other party showing such an expression.
"I don't know either. I'm just suddenly worried. Brother Mo is extremely talented and will have a bright future. I'm just an ordinary woman. I can't always keep up with you. If one day in the future..."
"In my eyes, you are all unique, how can you be ordinary." Mo Juren did not expect that the other party had such an inferiority complex, so he patted the other party on the shoulder and continued,
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, there will never be such a day..."
Just when the two of them were talking about each other, suddenly, a ray of fire suddenly flew from the sky and was directly absorbed into his palm.
'Messaging talisman! Mo Juren frowned slightly, and then he used a ray of consciousness to check. After reading the contents, his originally calm expression suddenly became meaningful.
